Lillian Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 I'm seeing many EUCs lately. Today walking home along 10th Ave. around the 50s, I saw one in the bike lane and another rider on the sidewalk. Are you noticing an uptick where you live? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sketch Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 I’m in Southern California and he past few years I have hardly ever seen a wheel in the wild. Once in awhile I will spot an Ninebot E or an Airwheel. Couple of weeks ago I was shocked to see a 16x coming the opposite direction on the bike path. I yelled out 16x and slowed down but the younger guy had no interest in chatting. I was riding my Nikola Plus. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LanghamP Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 I've seen many OneWheels and a handful of EUCs. I've also seen a lot of MiniPro's, and there's also a Segway tour group that I've talked to. The self balancing technology has become ubiquitous. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyboyEUC Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 I'm seeing an increase in people but I'm also rallying the old timers in. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atdlzpae Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 I'm still the only one in my town. In fact, the last time I've seen a unicyclist "in the wild" [outside of meetups] was 2 years ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HippoPig Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 I’m still definitely the only one within 50 miles or so I think. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dzlchef Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 I'm seeing a bunch more. I spotted 4 in the wild last week. Funny but most have been on 16S, including a 20-something girl a block from my house, and 2 others around my work downtown. The other a MSX passing each other near Griffith. I like to think that I influenced some of them 😁 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coffee guy Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 Where I live, in the past 2-3 years, I've seen only 2 euc's in the wild. Within the last 3 months I saw a OneWheel, and a neighbor just bought a NB1E+ . She says I was the inspiration for it when she saw me ride 2 years ago. 👍. Since then, I've helped accelerate her learning and education on different euc's. Also her adult daughter and two grandkids. The grandson, by the way, has quickly improved, and is riding solo around the neighborhood. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Rocket 98908 Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 (edited) There is one other guy in my town that owns an EUC, but I have never actually seen him. The only riders I have even seen first hand are the ones I have taught, three of them. The only EUC's I've seen are the ones I own: 3 - V8, Mten3 and an old Freeman 14 (learner). Live in Yakima, WA in the Pacific Northwest, about 2 1/2 hour drive from Seattle. That will change when I get to the EUC games! So looking forward to it!

He still rides with his friend and dog on the Segway - it's a sight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never thought I could do that, but here we are. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post null Posted October 11, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 11, 2019 (edited) There are quite a few in Paris, I see several every time I take a ride. Two 18XL and an MSX un just an hour today. We make a little smile / nod / wave, which is nice in an otherwise fairly grumpy city.

2 Drinks Behind Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 (edited) I had never seen another one in the area before I started a few months ago. Now I've seen at least 5 other folks on them - mostly Inmotions. I see more OneWheels than anything else tho.

Popular Post Hunka Hunka Burning Love Posted November 16, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted November 16, 2019 I saw my first EUC rider in the wild downtown tonight! He zipped across the road wearing a white full face helmet. I couldn’t tell what black EUC he was riding, but it had no side lights. Pretty cool! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to track that guy down so you have a riding buddy. When will we see Hunka zipping through the streets? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
